why does europe get the good stuff?

the opel speedster.

beautiful car powered by a 2.2L, 147 hp 4 cyl. 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, and not legal in north america.

what is the point of posting this? one of my favorite cars that is not well known in north america is going to be in the fast and the furious, forever ruining the car.

not only that, in the latest MODIFIED magazine, they showed how to bastardize a skyline R34, put it in "that movie" and then sell it.

why lord, why???

how old is that car??
it doesn't even have power windows

**infamous** · 10-19-2002, 12:11 AM

no power windows = less weight = faster car!

Power windows mean extra weight.
in a car like that the designers are trying to keep the weight down to a minimum ...duh

**infamous** · 10-19-2002, 12:25 AM

i

....but still

**finboy** · 10-19-2002, 12:28 AM

i love the car, and once 15 years are up, damnit, i will have that car.

best part? it has an ecotec 4, which has MANY supercharger kits available.

it would be a HUGE squeez, but imagine that thing on boost?

it has altezzas!

but to answer the question, north america gets shafted for cars cuz the foreign companies dont need to bring their nice cars here to compete in the market against crappy detroit cars.

**finboy** · 10-19-2002, 12:45 AM

smoke the tails, problem solved.

**Stratus_Power** · 10-19-2002, 12:59 AM

that car is a PoS... saw the real thing in Europe last year.. its kinda looks cool, but nothing else sux, it has no power in its engine wat so ever, everything is in the wrong place, the seats are not adjustable, neither is the steering wheel i dont think, it is not comfty at all in that thing. Plus i heard it drives like shiet

**Stratus_Power** · 10-19-2002, 01:02 AM

and i dont think its that expensive either, its about the price of a corvette.. base

**finboy** · 10-19-2002, 01:05 AM

0-60 less than 60 seconds = no power???

seems alright to me

**Strider** · 10-19-2002, 01:08 AM

147hp... not a lot of power, but looks like light little bugger

**finboy** · 10-19-2002, 01:09 AM

ecotec + boost + almost no weight= FAST.

**three.eighteen.** · 10-19-2002, 01:35 AM

i dont like the interior, it looks cool aesthetically...but it doesnt look comfortable or ergonomic
